[3] The stadium is most remembered for the violence that occurred back on 13 June 1993, before a Macedonian First League fixture between eternal rivals Pelister and Vardar.

The match never got started because Pelister supporters Čkembari set fire to the wooden bleacher seats, collapsed the old protective fence and clashed with the police.

[7] On 8 April 2014, Bitola mayor Vladimir Taleski along with architectural firm MEGARON Engineering from Skopje, promoted a new stadium reconstruction.

The stadium will have a capacity of 12,000 seats and would be a UEFA category two standard which means it will be able to host European and international matches.

It was also to bring notice of the current stadium's deteriorating condition and put pressure on mayor Taleski to fulfil his campaign promise from 2012.

[14][15] The "Sakame Stadion" motto has now been used on hundreds of occasions, by fans, citizens and representatives of the Macedonian diaspora around the world.
